Another view of this beauty the Chuditch, captured in a live capture cage trap on our property. This is why I don’t use lethal traps like the Goodnature trap which doesn’t discriminate against native wildlife.

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea! Stolen from twitter

This story keeps magically disappearing from media sites. Not retracted, disappearing.

OMG everyone!! You won’t believe what I just caught! After 9 years on our property, the holy grail animal that I thought we had no chance of seeing just entered my cage trap that I use for rats. Meet the Chuditch (Western Quoll). Released safe and unharmed this morning. I am still in shock.

In the light of the US dismantling DEI, if there are any US chemistry departments/companies who would like an online webinar on #LGBTSTEM issues, I can give one. I offer three variants (details in AltText). Happy to do at no personal charge, but will insist on a donation to local US LGBT+ charities.
